My Students
As a speech teacher at a Title I elementary school, my caseload consists of students from immigrant families who have an array of needs (e.g. language and speech intervention), especially the children with multiple academic difficulties. Many of them live in impoverished homes and don't often have the access to technology to assist them with their academic needs.
However, even with these difficulties, my students provide a supportive environment in my therapy room.
They know that this is a place for improvement and that no student is smarter than the other. With that in mind, they continue to use support each other however they can(e.g. verbal praise, helping their group mate with reading a word or two, etc).
My Project
These tablets will be used in the therapy room, so the students can productively search up vocabulary words they do not know as they read a text, associate visuals to a newly presented word and watch videos on proper placement of oral cavity structures to improve their articulation/phonological skills.
In addition, they will be able to use educational programs on the tablets to assist them with achieving their speech and language goals as well as academic.
The tablets will also be utilized as a reward system to increase motivation of students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
